Just left.. the air b owner had referred us to a driver.. picked us up from the airport, took us grocery shopping and dropped us off for $65 (I thought that was pretty good).. we stayed paradise island near the four seasons... showed us all the places to go so we won't need a driver.. took us to the fish fry... hooked us up with an awesome boat ride with snorkeling... picked us up and took us back to the airport for I had a freakin GREAT time!!

I am a Bahamian and you're right our taxi drivers embarrass me man. We need to change the way they give service. makes it bad for the decent taxi workers.

[interestedparty]

Seems like two very honest people giving a review. They're trying their best to be respectful, that much is apparent.

[christaheastie]

The management and staff of Tasty Teas wish the extend our most humble apologies to you both. We would like you to know that asking customers for tips is not apart of our compaines policy. This particular Tour Guide took it upon herself to ask customers for tips. Customer Service is our top priority and we would never condone in this type of behavior. This matter has been addressed and delt with! We also wish to thank you for the wonderful video featuring our store!

Hey guys nice video, but brother please don't interrupt your lady like yet. You could've done it in a much better way. Just saying...

[Thelittlethingsoflife]

Some very important info to know ahead to be prepared and not end up disappointed.

[a.corsiglia]

A prefect example of why I love your videos. You definitely promote most places, but you also give the real details. That way we can be fully informed. You also don't try to pass it off like other videos. I've seen many videos that say all the good things and then toss in a con but in a positive way.
Just to bad you guys went to the Bahamas and not Barbados, there's not a lot of video on Barbados...

[maxbwize]

As a Bahamian living in the US this tipping thing is getting out of hand. I spent most of my early life working in the tourist industry in the Bahamas and you only got a tip when you went above and beyond what is required of you, now the taxi driver wants a tip!!! For what?? OMG lol.

[patriotone]

I think a lot of people misunderstand the purpose of the video. They are not saying the Bahamas is a horrible place. They are giving you information that will make the cons more tolerable. Letting you know that you'll need to keep cash on you is a plus. A friend of mine said she never got a moments peace while visiting the Dominican Republic. Everyone was asking for tips. Even at the resort she was staying at. I plan to go to the Bahamas, but will spend most of my time on the resort. If I go downtown at least I'll know what to expect. Thank you .

You guys are telling the truth but i love my country and i am proud to be a Bahamian❤🇧🇸

[timothycormier]

I was just in Freeport two weeks ago March 2023. While it was pretty expensive. I found the taxi drivers to be very nice. The people are great! AhhHah the woman who drove us to the airport the day we left was a beautiful soul. 70 year old woman with lots of love in her heart. But at one point she pulled off a 5-6 car pass on the road with oncoming traffic. Hahah my wife was digging her nails into my leg. Bahamas is definitely beautiful and we will be back.

[hbrooke]

Thank you so much for all of the great info! It will def make for a smoother trip! 🤟🤟

[renaldolama]

I used to be extremely aggressive, almost violent with solicitors, vendors, and taxis when I was single and younger. Then I grew up, learned that life is hard, and people have families to support. Now I am much more diplomatic.

[Brode]

Love your honesty! Thank you for helping us to know what to expect.

[sansabaelish]

Beware those taxi drivers. One set my family up for a home invasion. Never again for that island. Grace of God we weren't murdered.

[beansandrice]

1. The prices are high because we are built on tourism so that’s how we make our money.
2. We are a small island and many other tourists are trying to try the same things as you so it’s not gonna be as fast as the USA, you guys probably have more staff or more technology or better systems because y’all are bigger.
3. There are many venders trying to make a profit which is not an excuse to be aggressive but they are also trying to make a living. Not all may want u just for their store they could be helping or being nice.
4. There are many taxis because there are many tourists. But there are many taxis in New York so what’s the difference? It’s an income what may be cheap in America won’t be cheap over here so if you don’t like the prices rent out a car or just walk.
5. The island is very small so u can’t expect the same thing from wherever you live and I highly doubt that there are more drunk drivers in the Bahamas than the USA.

Good video guys. I love how you guys go into detail. Downtown is definetly rough for pedestrians ironically. Most of the locals dint even go down there unless they work down there. Its a 300 year old city and there are property rights issues to make it more pedestrian friendly. Most of the newer parts of the island have better infrastructure though. Yes, taxi drivers in Nassau do make alot of money. I knew one that made 60k annually. Not that popular of a job though. The service in the Bahamas has always been relatively slow but the pandemic rules have made it worst🙄. That being said I love living here😁.

[BPeck]

Thank you so much for this video, very valuable information! And I've enjoyed your other videos as we prepare for our Bahamas trip!

[july]

I just came back from the bahamas and the only good thing they have is their beautiful ocean. Other than that, it is very expensive and the food is not good, they are very rude, from the waiters, to the taxi drivers and vendors, if you want to do any activities it will cost you at least $300 per person, no public transportation. Definitely is not a trip i will do twice

[billcarrick]

We have been to the Bahamas six times. Twice on cruises and we have stayed at Baha Mar four times. Yes, everything is expensive, but I know that going in. I also know they are on Island Time, so no one is in a hurry. We ignore the solicitation from the shops and the taxis drivers. We have the telephone numbers of a couple of taxi drivers who we call when we are there. If they are busy, they send another taxi, usually a friend, and we know the cost ahead of time. We try to go every six months, but have been going once a year recently. I love the Bahamas. As you said, with all the cons, you would still go back, and so will I.
